Give me a Challenge
« on: May 21, 2011, 05:32:18 am »
Hi all!

I'd like someone to give me an inventive challenge. With Bonuses, SuperBonuses, UltraBonuses and UristBonuses. No holds barred, except for either making friends with the elves (allowed in in area with no trees) and involving too much magma. Oh, and I play Deon's Genesis .24b.

With booze,
"T"

EDIT: Should have mentioned. Free socks to people who respond!

Thanks for the suggestion, but Number4 is correct: [...] it would be easier and more predictable to just be a racist.

Embark anywhere you want.

Use 0 points on embark.

Build huge temple for Armok that all dwarfs and humans (and unfortunately elves too) from all over the world can come to ave. So you can't wall yourself in.

Use only hard dwarven labor to build it, so no need to build any of those fancy workshops. Don't build any of them. Nor smelters. Just trade anything you need.

Might need some bouncers to keep filthy goblins out, so train military too.

Super bonus: Make a royal dining room - "Gentledwarves, tonight we dine in hell!"

Mega bonus: The tables and chair must be all made in obsidian and decorated with iron and demon bone. Also, make demon meat roasts, and make your military dine in hell on demon flesh. Also build a chapel to Armok in hell.

Ultra dwarf bonus: Mod the game so you can gather demon blood, and make your military drink it rather than banal alcohol ! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD !

Edit the dwarf entry in the raws so that they have [maxage:1:1], and remove the canopendoors tag, because clearly one year olds cannot open doors.

(it is possible to play fortress mode like this)

For bonus points, get the fort up to a population of 80.

For super bonus points, make the fort last for 12 years.

Ultrabonus points are awarded for maintaining a 40-strong army of battle toddlers

Uristbonuses are awarded for equipping all 40 with adamantine weapons.

play as your adventurer only in fort mode.
you can do this with help of Dfmode to switch over to Fort mode while on top of the site and Runesmith for removing the Is resident tag and changing the civ number to match up the local members.

bonus don't remove the designations spam that results from said switch to fort mode.
Bonus Bonus : Go to the fort site from the caverns and start there.

Bonus Bonus Bonus: Go to the site from hell and only use adventure reactions to convert the dead corpses into blocks and logs. this is harder due to there two ways to get to reveal the open space.
One is to mess with the walls which you can't with slade.
Two while in adventure mode scout out the area before switching back.

Turn the world upside down - that's right.

Magma and the circus up top.
Stones in the middle (build great walls and then cave in to reform as natural rock?)
Dorfs, animals and great open space down below.

I know hell you can't exactly empty and take over - but get as close as you can.

Bonus 1- have several FB's on the prowl near the elf caravan spawn point
Bonus 2 - Try and kill a siege with biological warfare - (eg, trap all the gobbos, send a single dorf with a condition or syndrome to infect em and wait as their limbs drop off)

Build a temple city. Find out what the gods of your civ are like and build a huge themed temple for each one. Big pillared halls with precious metals and statues of the appropriate god are encouraged. So for a god of death you could put tombs and statues of horrible monsters and dwarves getting killed, and sacrifice goblins on the alter, for a god of fire you could have lots of magma channels and burning lignite, for a god of fortresses you could give it its own walls and defences. Use your imagination!

Bonus: Build it in the magma sea from obsidian.
UltraBonus: Capture demons and cage them as appropriate "avatars" of the gods.
UristBonus: Build Asgard floating in the clouds and make all your puny dwarves live at the bottom connected by a slender staircase, while nobles and "priests" live in the temple city.

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.

For the entire lifetime of your fortress you may not dig.

Super Bonus: Embark on a desert without any vegetation or water.
Ultra Bonus: Build a tower to house all your dwarves in.
Urist Bonus: Build this entire tower out of clear glass.
